Do I have to accept hell before I can find bliss?

To find bliss, you must first understand the hell of your ego; only by witnessing it without resistance can you dissolve its structures and awaken to the freedom of no-self.

— Osho
According to Osho, ‘hell’ is the ego—the felt ‘I.’ Bliss is no-self. You need not wallow in hell, but you must accept and understand it; denial breeds projection and keeps you imprisoned. By owning your disowned parts and witnessing the ego without resistance, its structures dissolve, projections cease, and egoless awarenessheaven—naturally appears.

Notice and gently accept the scary, selfish parts inside you; when you stop blaming others and just watch them, they melt, and you feel peaceful.
